DOUGSTER  Annoyingly, after this update, many of Entourage's Toolbar settings returned to default. Also, Entourage refused to accept email passwords until they were deleted from Keychain. Oh, and the Address Book /'Synch' settings needed resetting. Apart from that all is okey dokey. I think !

MMUECK  I'm with GCOGHILL - I really don't like the coupling to APE. In fact, that's the only reason why I don't own this product (but I'd like to own it). After being royally bitten by APE stuff many times in the past I avoid it like the plague. I wish the developer was able/motivated to remove APE dependencies.

DOUGSTER  Hi GLW,

Glad that worked for you! I agree.......it is unusual in the way LimeWire acts. Like you, I'd expect LW to replace the previous version of its software with the new installation.

Cheers.

Before installing this new version of LimeWire did you delete everything associated with the previous version? Usually the 'Classic' error appears when a new version of LW detects an older version (or remnants of it) on a computer.

The previous version's serial is not being accepted! I cannot believe users are expected to fork out more money for this upgrade. Shocking!

DOUGSTER  Hello again,

Thanks to whoever replied to my previous comment. However, SS does not work in Firefox/Safari/AudioCodex/Entourage, and many other apps on my iMac running 10.5.6. Indeed, when I go into Application Enhancer and click on Smart Scroll it tells me there that the above mentioned applications are in Smart Scroll's Excluded list.

DOUGSTER  How I hate it when Smart Scroll doesn't work with my Mac software. I am not complaining about the developer....no way! He does a brilliant job. But, when Apple upgrades its OS (10.5.6 in this case), and it prevents Smart Scroll from doing its job I realise how much I miss SS. Using Firefox/Safari/Entourage/AudioCodex/others, without the smooth scrolling of SS is a chore.

The developer of SS should sell his product to Apple!

Hopefully Santa Claus will deliver my iMac an updated version of SS real soon......before Xmas Day. Please!

Meantime, merry Christmas Mr Smart Scroll :-)

DOUGSTER  Superb software. The people behind AudioCodex are brilliant for replying to feature requests. My previous (and only) complaint about AudioCodex was its lack of a date added/modified column in its playlist(s). No sooner had I requested such a feature when, hey presto, it was incorporated into the new (current) release! I could not have asked for more.

AC is a joy to use with its pitch shifts and,well,too much stuff to list. Highly recommended.
